Hamas: We'll never waive our demands for ending Israeli aggression

[ 15/01/2009 - 12:21 PM ]


.DAMASCUS, (PIC)-- The Hamas Movement highlighted that it would never make concessions on its demands for ending the Israeli aggression, lifting the siege and opening the crossings, adding that the ongoing Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip is a desperate attempt to impose a fait accompli on the Palestinian people.

Dr. Moussa Abu Marzouk, the deputy head of the Hamas political bureau, told reporters that the continued Israeli shelling against civilians in Gaza reflects Israel's failure to achieve its objectives, noting that the IOF troops failed to advance into Gaza because of the fierce resistance they found.

Regarding any possible meeting with ex-PA chief Mahmoud Abbas in order to cooperate to end the aggression on Gaza, Dr. Marzouk said that Abbas could not help himself politically because he had secluded himself away from his people and opened the war for Israel to kill this tremendous number of Gaza people.

The Hamas leader added that if Abbas wants to do something on the ground, he must declare a cessation of all negotiations with Israel, call for convening an emergency Arab summit to severe relations with Israel, release all political prisoners in his jails and leave the door open for the West Bank people to express their support for Gaza.

The Hamas leader expressed hope that the meeting of the gulf cooperation council in Riyadh today would be an active Arab effort to tangibly help the Gaza people.

More than a hundred Muslim scholars issued a statement considering the collaboration with the Israeli occupation through closing the Rafah border crossing, and exposing and destroying tunnels in Rafah in order to block food, medicine and any kind of aid from reaching the Gaza people "one of the greatest religious betrayals in the Islamic history."

The statement said that this Islamic ruling involves all organizations and media outlets which take side with Israel against the Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza.
